KISS CLEARLY STEALS SHOW AT "AMERICAN IDOL" FINALE

KISS - WOW!American Idol 8: Finale!Blog by K.C. Morgan(from TV ENVY)Adam Lambert introduced KISS - WOW! - and the strange getup became a bit more clear. This was the most awesome moment in all of Idol history, for me personally. Amid pyrotechnic wonders, the band worked the song to a frenzy with Adam’s strong rock vocals on display. “Detroit Rock City,” and you’d better believe it. This quickly turned, of course, into KISS’ anthem song. Gene Simmons made the song hot, Adam set it off. It this wasn’t the YouTube moment of the season, then I don’t know what was. Lambert definitely got the best number, and I’m ready to call it the best finale in eight years.Carlos Santana had the unenviable task of following the act. He strummed out some of his famous licks, which felt very slow-paced after the unbelievable energy KISS brought to the theatre. I was actually screaming to see more KISS by this point.(Editor's Note: There were a ton of musicians on Wednesday night's "American Idol" finale, but KISS is getting the most publicity and it's all positive. -JFH)
